7. | Drucilla Woodson Walker was born in 1774 in Cumberland County, VA (daughter of William Walker and Drusilla Watkins Woodson). Notes:
There is conflicting information on Drucilla...was she a Woodson or a Walker to begin with? Another date of birth given is 1758.
Was John Woodson her father or William Walker?

Generation: 4
15. | Drusilla Watkins Woodson was born about 1759 in Goochland County, Virginia, USA (daughter of John Woodson and Elizabeth); died in 1772/1853. Notes:
A letter from Nadine Picard on May 27th, 1995.
...Lucy Walker Gannaway was born around 1762 if we believe the VA Revolutionary War Pension Application. The application was from 1843 and stated was 81 years old in 1843. I thought Lucy was Drusilla Walker's sister, but if Drusilla Walker's mother Drusilla Woodson, was born in 1759 then she is only 3 years older than Lucy and cannot be Lucy's mother. William Walker born in 1740 could be the father. Was William Walker married before making them half sisters? Do I have an incorrect date?...
A descendancy chart from Bob Walker shows Drusilla Watkins Woodson as being born 1747. This would allow Drusilla to be fifteen when Lucy was born.
